Editorial Note

Abstract

Volume  () celebrates the th anniversary of Symbolae Osloenses and commemorates the birth,  years ago, of the distinguished classical philologist, papyrologist and historian of ancient religion and magic Samson Eitrem (Kraggerø, –Oslo, ). The two are inextricably connected. The first volume of the journal appeared in December  as a Festschrift for Samson Eitrem’s th birthday, under the title Symbolae Arctoae. The volume was curated by the Societas Philologica Christianiensis, which Samson Eitrem presided over (Figures  and ).
